Under the direction of Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, and with the talent of songwriters Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, they have turned “Beauty and the Beast” into a resplendent musical....
Thompson, a former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, also supervised the administration’s corporate-crime task force that has prosecuted top executives of Enron, WorldCom and other alleged corporate malefactors. Word of his departure has jolted Justice insiders: although a strong conservative, Thompson is a widely respected professional whose low-key style contrasted sharply with that of his boss, Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Amash had been a member of the Republican party, but nine months ago he left to become an Independent. He announced, however, that he would run for president as a Libertarian. It is still unclear whether Amash will win the Libertarian Party nomination, but many have already speculated how his decision could impact the 2020 election. Although it is not likely that a third-party contender like Amash will receive a majority of votes, according to FiveThirtyEight, he could pose a potential problem in key swing states that can shake up the election....

The Turin giant, looking to wrap up a sixth successive Serie A title success this season, continues to top the table, but its advantage over the Rossoneri has been cut to just two points. Donnarumma shines in AC win Fortunately for Juve, the rest of their 2016-17 schedule does not include another visit to the San Siro – at least not in the league. Trips to Milan have not always been unpleasant for the Bianconeri, as it is rare for them to leave empty-handed against both AC and Inter....
The Juventus women’s team shared an image of defender Cecilia Salvai wearing a cone as a hat and slanting her eyes with her fingers, which follows harmful, longstanding caricatures of people from Asia.

The Michigan men’s basketball coach and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard got into it Sunday afternoon soon after the Badgers’ 77-65 win over the Wolverines in Madison, and now we have more insight as to why.

K.J. Wright, though, admits he couldn’t envision how much personnel turnover would be coming.

The San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback who has carried the team to the Super Bowl and two NFC title games in his three seasons gets a paycheck of only $973,000. He wants more, a lot more … like $18 million per year. That’s Jay Cutler, Tony Romo and Matthew Stafford kind of money. Kaepernick believes he’s worth every dollar. According to Boston Globe reporter Ben Volin, if the 49ers don’t come close to meeting the player’s demands, Kaepernick, instead of signing a “below-market deal,” would be willing to play 2014 at his current base salary and wait until next offseason to negotiate a new deal....
He certainly hopes it doesn’t take another three years to run his next sprint-car race. After a 2011 wreck where he flipped out of Williams Grove (Pa.)

At some point during the TLC match - which the Kabuki Warriors won - it became clear that “The Pirate Princess” was not all there. It’s unclear what spot may have injured Sane, but certain points of the match did not go as planned. Charlotte’s Spear onto Kairi didn’t go or look as devastating as intended. And Sane could barely get up for Charlotte’s Power Bomb on the table immediately following....
“Recently there’s been a lot of talk about eco-preneurs—entrepreneurs who are focused on climate, focused on what might happen, which is to protect our environment but also see the capacity for jobs and economic development as a connection with that pursuit,” Harris told reporters during a briefing alongside Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei in Guatemala City, Guatemala on Monday. Harris is visiting central America this week to discuss the border crisis and other issues with foreign leaders....
